I believe its recommended (on Colemak guide) to avoid moving keycaps. You will move the F and J key bumps and find it harder to localize your hand to the keyboard. It also prevents your brain from cheating (reading the keys) instead of training muscle memory.
- eimrine 6y agoI understand that but disagree. Moving keycapses may be useful to adapt if you will going to make your job with the new layout immediately, without an option to switch back. Especially when you are living qwerty. Let your friends to type on your kbd to share the good idea about existing of non-qwerties. Let your eyes to love a new layout. BTW Colemak is not so non-qwerty so my opinion it is OK not to move capses for Colemak.
- opan 6y agoAgreed about the bumps, but with mechanical keyboards it's easy to change keycaps. You can get blank caps with a bump or "deep dish", and also many of the high end sets have a "homing kit" addon that throws in U, D, T, and N homing keys. This covers dvorak, colemak, and workman layouts. Here's a set with a homing kit. https://novelkeys.xyz/products/kam-superuser-gb?variant=37890035155111 https://novelkeys.xyz/products/kam-superuser-gb?variant=3789... https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3099/8088/products/homing_1080x.png?v=1612533436 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3099/8088/products/homing_... It has even more keycaps than usual!
